If I recall hearing correctly, the studio was in full support of Parker's idea to "get out in front of this controversy" with that dreadful Deadline interview.

I'm sure now that Searchlight has moved on and given up on this movie's Oscar hopes, and Parker's riding solo with all these interviews, tailspinning on his lonesome.

This is why my advice for most any celebrity is *don't talk about your sordid past ever ever ever ever ever.* When you combine massive egos with out-of-touch lifestyles and then get them talking about hot-button issues publicly, it so rarely ever works out. Doesn't apply to every celebrity, obviously-- but it's painfully apparent that Parker is woefully out of touch.
